An Open Letter to Meta: Your Broken AI is Failing Creators
Dear Meta,
I’m writing this not just for OCR Slots, but for every creator who has been caught in the mess that is your AI-driven system.
Recently, our page received a message from you saying:
“We increased your distribution because you’re putting out high-quality content.”
That was encouraging. It felt like our hard work — producing consistent, authentic videos and content that people enjoy — was paying off.
But almost immediately afterward, we got hit with this:
“We can’t recommend your Page. Our Recommendations Guidelines are designed to maintain a higher standard than our Community Standards, because recommended content and connections are from accounts or entities that you haven’t chosen to follow.”
No explanation. No specific reason. No real path to fix it. Just a vague notice from an algorithm that clearly doesn’t understand what we do or why our community follows us.
And this isn’t just about OCR Slots. This is a systemic problem across Facebook. Pages everywhere are being told they’re not “recommendable” with no clear justification. Creators are forced to request a review, which almost always leads nowhere. Why? Because everything is run by AI, with zero human support to actually resolve the issue.
Meta — you’re the largest social network in the world, but your support for creators is essentially nonexistent. Your AI systems are poorly implemented, contradictory, and actively harming the very people who generate the content that keeps your platform alive.
How can you tell creators they’re producing “high-quality content” one day, and then punish them with distribution restrictions the next? That contradiction doesn’t just hurt creators — it hurts the communities who actively want to see their content.
This is not a small issue. It’s a trust issue. Creators can’t trust your system, because it doesn’t operate with transparency, accountability, or fairness. And without creators, your platform has nothing.
It’s time for change.
- Give creators clear reasons when our pages are flagged.
- Provide real human support when automated systems fail.
- Stop hiding behind vague AI decisions that cannot be appealed in any meaningful way.
Meta, your AI should support creators — not silence them. Until that happens, you’re not just limiting creators’ reach. You’re limiting your own future.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Creator
